Are you trying to do it as the dsadm user?

At worst case, you can do a 'reinstall' of the server with the new auth code.

I am using admin user only.
Is there any way we can chage through command prompt?

If i reinstall, will i loose my exixting projects?

[chulett]

No, you won't lose anything. In the past, that was the only way to change or upgrade the license information. From what I recall, it's not until 7.5.x that we were given a way to just update the license information...

Thanks Chulett,

Let me reinstall server with new Auth code. I will update you once i done with that.

Can you set your server machine date back a few days, update the license key and then move the date forward again?

Please qualify "all". For example, I don't know how SAP licensing works.
